Plastic Coated Plywood for Concrete Formwork
Durable PP Plastic Coated Plywood for Reusable Formwork Applications
LUJU Plastic Coated Plywood is a high-performance formwork panel engineered for concrete casting and heavy-duty construction projects. The plywood surface is laminated with a durable polypropylene (PP) plastic coating that provides superior water resistance, abrasion resistance, and easy concrete release compared with traditional film faced plywood. Plastic-coated surfaces help prevent concrete adhesion, improve stripping efficiency, and extend service life in demanding jobsite conditions.
Manufactured with selected hardwood or combi core veneers and bonded with waterproof WBP phenolic glue, LUJU Plastic Coated Plywood offers excellent strength, dimensional stability, and multiple reuse cycles. It is widely used for high-rise buildings, bridges, tunnels, infrastructure projects, precast concrete production, and industrial construction.
Key Features
Superior Water Resistance
The PP plastic coating effectively protects the plywood from moisture penetration, reducing swelling and maintaining dimensional stability in wet environments.
Easy Demoulding
The non-stick plastic surface minimizes concrete adhesion, allowing faster form removal and reducing the need for release agents.
Extended Reusability
Compared with conventional shuttering plywood, plastic coated plywood can achieve significantly more reuse cycles under proper site conditions, helping reduce project costs.
Smooth Concrete Finish
The plastic-coated surface produces cleaner and more uniform concrete finishes with fewer surface defects.
High Impact and Abrasion Resistance
The protective plastic layer improves resistance to wear, impact, and mechanical damage during transportation and repeated construction use.
Easy Processing
Panels can be cut, drilled, nailed, and assembled using standard woodworking tools, making them suitable for various formwork systems.
